into account the unique requirements of the ir organization and its environment. The NCA
confirms that this document is only a guide that can be used as an illustrative model and does
not necessarily mean that this is the only method of implem enting the ECC, provided that
other methods do not conflict with the requirements of the NCA
This document contains
some illustrative deliverables related to the ECC implementation. The assessor/auditor has the

Guide to Essential Cybersecurity
Controls (ECC) Implementation
7 Document Classification: Public TLP: White
Introduction
The National Cybersecurity Authority (referred to in this document as
developed this guide for implementing the Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC
1: 2018),
to aid national organizations in implementing the requirements that are necessary to comply
with the ECC. This guide was developed based on the information and experiences that NCA
collected and analyzed since the publication of the ECC and is aligned with cybersecurity best
practices to facilitate the implementation of the controls across national organizations.
Objective
The main objective of this guide is to enable and aid national organizations in
implementing the necessary and applicable E CC requirements that are needed for their
compliance with the ECC, in addition to strengthening their cybersecurity posture, and
reducing cybersecurity risks that may arise from internal and external cyber threats.
Scope of Work
This guide's scope of work is the same as the (ECC-1:2018): These controls are
applicable to government organizations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (including ministries,
authorities, establishments, and others) and their companies and entities, as well a s private
sector organizations owning, operating, or hosting Critical National Infrastructures (CNIs),

1-1 Cybersecurity Strategy
Objective To ensure that cybersecurity plans, goals, initiatives and projects are contributing to
compliance with related laws and regulations.
Controls
1-1-1 A cybersecurity strategy must be defined, documented and approved. It must be
supported by the head of the organization or his/her delegate (refer red to in this
document as Authorizing Official). The strategy goals must be in -line with related
laws and regulations.
Relevant cybersecurity tools:
• All cybersecurity strategy models and roadmap
Control implementation guidelines:
• Conduct a workshop with stakeholders in the organization to align the
objectives of the cybersecurity strategy with the organization's strategic
objectives.
• Develop and document cybersecurity the strategy of the organization in order
to align the organization's cybersecurity strategic objectives with related laws
and regulations, including but not limited to (CCC, CSCC). A cybersecurity
strategy often includes the following:
o Vision
o Mission
o Strategic Objectives
o Strategy Implementation Plan
o Projects
o Initiatives
• In order for the cybersecurity strategy of the organization to be effective, the
approval of the representative must be based on the authority matrix
approved by the organization
Expected deliverables:
